10 Movie Posters That Spoiled EVERYTHING
7. John Connor Is A Terminator - Terminator Genisys
Name a more iconic duo than the Terminator franchise and spoiling its own plot in the marketing.
The fifth Terminator film, Terminator Genisys, made especially baffling pains to give away its own shocking plot twist in both the movie's later trailers and posters.
The final poster pointlessly revealed that resistance leader John Connor (Jason Clarke) had somehow been turned into a villainous Terminator, with a fiery expanse showing the robotic form below his human facade.
While fans who wanted to dodge spoilers could've avoided the trailer with relative ease, movie posters are basically everywhere, ensuring the spoiler-cautious were almost certainly subjected to it at some point before the movie's release.
Given that this is Genisys' big reveal, it's clear that Paramount were so desperate to lure audiences in by any means necessary that they willingly gave away the film's big surprise for free.
It didn't help much, though, as while certainly not a box office bomb, Genisys' commercial performance was much lower than expected.
